Note: This command is for the PS/2 only.
DESCRIPTION
The icaload command downloads tasks into RIC card memory. The task image is
loaded from the file argument and must be either a DOS .COM or .EXE format
file. If file is a .COM file, its name must end with ".com". If file is a
.EXE file, the name can end in anything but ".com". The ric-number specifies
which physical RIC co-processor is to be downloaded. Physical card 0 is the
card in the lowest numbered slot in the PS/2. The task is loaded as
task-number on the RIC card.
By default, the task is started after being loaded into the RIC card. However,
you can load a task without starting it by setting load-option to either 1 or
L.
If the -v option is given, icaload prints a message indicating the starting
address of the task in RIC memory.
EXAMPLES
1. Load RIC 0 with the RCM. The RCM must be loaded as a task 0 and is called
"icaaim.com".
icaload 0 /usr/lib/cyclone/icaaim.com 0
2. Load RIC 0 with the RS232 support program as task 1. Do not start the
task running.
icaload 0 /usr/lib/cyclone/com232.exe 1 1
